Re: Problem in 2948g switch

2000-09-22 Thread Don Orlik

Yes, it does defeat the purpose of a Layer 3 switch.  But according to the
post, the user/customer isn't using layer 3 technologies.  In most cases,
customers buy Layer3 switches not understanding the capabilities of them and
want to use them as a regular switch.  To do so, all the ports need to be
within the same bridge group.

Again, here is a link on how to approach configuring the 2948G-L3 switch.

http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/l3sw/2948g-l3/rel_12_0/7wx51
5a/config_g/intfc_cg.htm

Also notice under the section Additional Configurations on the Fast Ethernet
and Gigabit Ethernet Interfaces, that Cisco states "... can configure the
Fast Ethernet and the Gigabit Ethernet ports into a bridge group, which is
the recommended configuration, or use the ports as router interfaces."

To fix the Microsft Browsing Service problems that could be introduced
within a switched environment is a whole other topic.

Hopefully, this clears up any questions that people may have.

Don Orlik

Whoa!  Doesn't bridging defeat the purpose of buying a layer 3 switch?  I'd
only recommend that as a last resort.  Get off of Netbeui if you're using
it, and go with IP and WINS.  I think this should fix your problem.  This
might not fix the problem with MS's crappy Master browser process, but some
creative IP helper statements should help there.

Good luck;

Re: Problem in 2948g switch

2000-09-21 Thread Don Orlik

The problem you are having is very common with the 2948G-L3.  The reason
your config doesn't work on the L3 Switch and works on a L2 Switch is that
the L3 Switch is more like a 48 Port Router.  Each Port is "individual".
What I mean is that you need to create a bridge group and assign all the
ports to that specific bridge group.  Here is a link to a Cisco web-site
that gives you a sample config.

http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/l3sw/2948g-l3/rel_12_0/7wx51
5a/config_g/bridging.htm#23388

Just follow the example on Configuring Bridging.  This should solve your
problem.

Hope that Helps.
